Intel Yamhill

Introduced: 2004-03-11

Description: The Intel 64-bit technology is called Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T), 'CT' or IA32e and was previewed at IDF 2004.
Project was said to have been called *T ("star-T"?). IA32e is said to be largely compatible with AMD64, which is probably connected to the rumour that Microsoft is quoted as saying that they "will not support more than one 64-bit extension to the x86 platform" or something similar.
Will be launched for Nocona and Prescott LGA775.

2004-02-23 Intel should be ashamed of itself over AMD 64, Torvalds says: I'm not quite as surprised as my fellow northerner. I'm more surprised they were convinced (by MS) to copy AMD64 in the first place... The Inquirer [rm]
